The document discusses various tax-advantaged retirement plans such as IRAs, 401(k)s, and 403(b) plans and how they allow pre-tax investing and tax-deferred earnings. It also covers different types of trusts like charitable remainder trusts that have tax implications. The summary describes key retirement income sources including social security, employer plans, and individually provided savings as well as strategies for estimating needed retirement income.
The idea was to make 401k and pension plans available to plan sponsors and their employees regardless of the size of the company or the amount of assets in the plan. We worked on the idea that bringing dedicated administration professionals together would create a solid and viable firm and a belief that hard work and a strong service orientation would be a catalyst for growth. Today we administer more than 300 qualified retirement plans for all types of entities in various industries.
Pension plans are schemes by which small amount is saved on a monthly basis over a considerable period of time so that one can enjoy monthly income after retirement.

The Renaissance of Stable Value: Capital Preservation in Defined ContributionCallan
*Stable value funds are low-risk investment options in participant directed plans that mix capital preservation with return generation. They invest in high-quality, short- and intermediate-duration fixed income securities, and utilize wrap contracts to insulate individual plan participants from market value fluctuations.
*Stable value funds serve as an alternative to more volatile or risky asset classes and are a direct substitute for a money market fund. They typically offer a more attractive yield than money market funds, except during periods when short-term rates are rising rapidly.
*This paper describes how the underlying mix of securities and issuer characteristics have evolved since the financial crisis, and why Callan sees stable value as a healthy and important part of the U.S. retirement plan marketplace.
Introduction
In this paper, we seek to answer questions defined contribution (DC) plan sponsors and their participants may have about stable value funds, including mechanics, instruments, liquidity, and implementation considerations. We also look at risk and performance, address benchmarking issues, cover recent trends, and provide key takeaways for DC plan sponsors.
Stable value funds are popular with DC plans and 529 college saving investors. According to Callan’s DC Index™, 65% of DC plans offer a stable value fund, and typically 14% of total plan assets are in such funds when offered.
We believe stable value can be an effective investment option for DC plan participants seeking capital preservation.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
